The Investment
Diversification is essential to any successful investment, and we believe that’s true in franchising as well. This innovative model makes your business less seasonal and more resilient. In fact, on average, sales grew 64% year-over-year from Q1 2020 to Q1 2021, proof that our business model can survive—and thrive—through economic downturns.
Attractive Start-Up Costs
Our flexibility and dedication to excellence means you can get up and running faster, for a fraction of the competition.

Various Fees
FRANCHISE FEE
The franchise fee is $49,500 and includes all mentioned support services. As an indication of our appreciation to our veterans, we have a special discount fee exclusively for them. (Veterans and Wounded Warriors)
ROYALTY FEE
Our royalty fee is 6% of gross sales, paid weekly, which are the lowest in this franchise sector. As with everything we do, we are committed to making our franchise partners as successful as possible That is why we have the lowest royalty fees in the dog care industry.
ADVERTISING AND REQUIREMENTS FEE
There is a 2% brand development fee that is payable weekly which goes into a fund dedicated to creating and producing POP materials, outdoor signage as well as local store marketing. All efforts go towards media that will benefit you. The Dog Stop Franchising, LLC does not use any of these funds to promote the sale of franchises.
Multiple Stores And Area Development Agreements
While our competitors require a significant number of stores before offering any reduction in fees, we do it starting with the second store. We also will consider area development agreements and area representative agreements for those who qualify… but there is no pressure for anyone to develop more than one store.
